The Spanish conquistadors, led by the fanatical, disillusioned commander Francisco Pizarro, set out to conquer the majestic Inca empire in the name of God while on a quest for gold. Based on historical events in 16th-century South America, this riveting epic written by Peter Shaffer (Equus, Amadeus) and directed by Steven Scott Mazzola details the defeat of a glorious and peaceful empire by a small band of mercenaries set on spreading Christianity while acquiring vast wealth for their king.
